What about the previous question?
There is still one official, and one forgotten answer available that I know of.

Not bad for a gooner

your hand or head stuck in something

Well, that wasn't RIOT's proposed answer, but it fits, so that's 3 and a bonus for finding a different answer / joining the game.

 Question 181 - RESOLVED
Last 2 questions are still open, but here's my last entry for the day.
Sid Shady, the notorious jewel thief, lay dead by the side of the tracks.
He had been on a train, west bound from London to Bristol. The train had passed by this spot an hour earlier at approximately 6:30 p.m.
Shadow quickly examined the body then slipped his sun glasses on and walked towards the sinking sun and the luggage containing Shady's clothes. Further down the tracks, Shadow found another bag containing money and jewellery.
"Looks like Shady was about to be robbed and jumped to escape," noted Officer Bob Slack.
"It's most obvious that our Mr. Shady did not leave the train voluntarily, if he was even alive when he left," stated Shadow.
Why does Shadow feel this way?
__________
The bag was thrown out after the body was, it was to the west of the body(towards the setting sun).
If it had been thrown out by Shady, it would have been east of the body.

Do I sense a certain measure of discontent?
Is it that time of the month again?
